Green-billed Malkoha in flight

I spotted a large, long-tailed bird foraging in a Rambutan tree beside my neighbor's house.

As I approach it to take a photo, it jumps and flies away.

I fired in high-speed continuous, approx. 7.0 shots/sec. Canon 5D Mark IV.

What photographers say is "Fire and pray".

These are three pictures that are sharp enough to be worth sharing.

Green-billed Malkoha (Phaenicophaeus tristis longicaudatus)

Burung Cenok Kera in Malay - Creeps through the foliage like a squirrel (Kera in Malay).

The Green-billed often has a clear white border to the red face patch.
